Hello, one of my bird’s tail feather broke and she’s bleeding. I put on styptic powder on her tail twice and she’s still bleeding. Our exotic vet isn’t back in the city for 2 more days and no other vet around us wants to see her. What do I do? Its a bleeding nub…
Hi,
Your bird broke a new feather, or blood feather, because it still has a blood supply. The rest of the feather has to be pulled out to stop the bleeding. Otherwise it acts like a straw and the bird can bleed to death. You should continue to look for a Vet to help, or possibly you can find a tutorial on pulling a blood feather online.
Take care,
Brenda
